To a/ZZ whom tv may concern:

Be it known that I, SIMON DANOYGER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Dayton, in the county V0f M ontgomery and State of Ohio, havev invented certain new and useful Improvements in Tag-Fasteners; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, which will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference beinghad to the accompanying drawings, and yto the letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

My invention relates to improvements in tag-fasteners, the features4 of .which will befully hereinafter described and claimed.

The objects of my invention are to provide for a marking-tag a wire fastener for the following purposes-viz., a loop for suspension, the same also used as a means to `attach a string-ticket and to support a price-card between the back of the card and the projecting or looped part of the fastener.

'Ihe several objects are accomplished by the device shown in the accompanying illustration, in which- Figure 1 is a back view of the card and fastener. Fig. 2 is the same with a price-card held between the back and fastener. Fig. 3 is a front view. Fig. 4L is aperspective view of the fastener.

Like letters and numerals designate like parts throughout'the several views.

The fastenery B is of wire and comprises the central arc l, the outward bends 3 3, the in-4 ward bends 2 2,- and the bends 4 4:, forming the prongs 5 5, which are passed through the card A and closed down on the back surface of said card, as shown at Fig. l. The card'is firmly held within said curves 2 2, which are formed over the edge of said card, and the central arc between said curves or bends extends beyond the edge of said card, as shown. Into this loop may be passed the string of a price-ticket. The same may be used for suspension, and between the back of the card and said loop may be held the price-ticketC, as shown in Fig. 2.

At Fig. I is shown the form of the fastener detached from the card, with the exception that the ends are straight and not bent as v'they are when fastened to the material by being bent down firmly on the rear surface of the same, as shown at Figs. l and 2. The ends or prongs of the staple stand normally at a right angle to the back of the card and are only bent -down when the material is penetrated by said prongs to' effect the attachment.

What I claim is- The tag comprising the card, the staple atwitnesses.
